Queen size Scrappy quilt using 4" squares done...with a helper...
 

I had pieced this quilt last winter, but it has been patiently waiting for me to quilt it (or tie it). I decided to quilt it--not in the ditch, but "beside the ditch". I like the way it turned out, but our new cat/kitten/teenager cat decided he wanted on my machine and wanted to get the thread! I've never had him do that before. He kept attacking the machine--and then finally sat down on the thread. I think he could feel it moving under his body.[ATTACH=CONFIG]374150[/ATTACH]

Here he is pawing at the moving thread lifter while I'm sewing.

Then, he just turned around and sat down on top, making it almost impossible to see because of his tail. That was it. I asked my daughter to take him away. :)

But I did finish the quilt. It's a pure "scrappy" using 4" squares with a mixed binding (idea from here on QB). I decided to "stitch beside the ditch" as I could go much faster and this was a rather large quilt!

That is so darn cute, are cats adorable? Your quilt turned out nice looking, I like the way you quilted beside the ditch, it looks very nice. Love the cat!

LOL!!! I have a cat that would do the very same thing!! She is definitely a trip!!

Beautiful quilt - scrappys really do have a way of working out!

What a smart cat ... going to catch that pesky thread for you! Beautiful quilt - I like the look of stitch-by-the-ditch quilting.

Very nice quilt. Your cat seems to enjoy sewing also.

Your pictures are priceless and gave me such a laugh! Your furbaby is just too adorabe! Beautiful quilt!

Love your quilt & your kitty!

Beautiful quilt and kitty. Don't let your kitty get in the habit of playing with thread. Cats love to play and chew on thread and they can swallow it and then the thread gets tangled around their intestines. Expensive vet visit.

Love your scrappy quilt. And you cat.

love the quilt and the cat pictures.... :)
